First-class University Remote Education

    Single-mode distance education universities can become a first-class universities, dual mode distance education can play an active role in leading universities.
    First-class university that is first-class university level, that what is first-class level? This problem, the benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom. 
    In fact, a clear understanding of first-class universities, we must talk about the basic functions of universities. The first is an educational institution the University, the University's educational function is fundamental. The basic function of education, Bagley (William Chandler Bagley) has a clear point of view: "We defined the social evolution of human knowledge accumulation and progress of the process of refining, in the broadest sense, education is the knowledge transfer process, or the accumulation of education is the transmission of human knowledge in the enduring value of permanent part of the process. "Bagley presented his view of education in the two basic functions: knowledge of the selection and knowledge transfer. Select the choice of knowledge "has enduring value" of the knowledge, after the completion of choice to achieve the basic function of education: education delivery. Bagley in the education process to identify the knowledge of two educational functions.
    Early 19th century when he was president of the Catholic University of Dublin, the British church scholar Newman (John Henry Newman) of a book, "Idea of the University," explained the concept of university, the mainstream emphasis on imparting knowledge, teaching live by . During the same period, Germany's well-known educator Humbolt (Wilhelm von Humbolt) proposed: "Modern society function of the university not only in education, it must be engaged in the research." That is, in addition to imparting knowledge, it should be knowledge and innovation. In this period, the function of the university began to expand, in addition to the choice of knowledge, knowledge transfer, the phase of knowledge of innovation as a focus.
    When the world entered the basic characteristics of knowledge during the 21st century, education was given more functions. Education, especially higher education has become the center of social knowledge, their knowledge of functions, have also been expanded. Qi Zhong As the information technology, knowledge of effective communication a reality, community need those After University has chosen and the creation of knowledge. While universities also bear the "full and equal enjoyment of all educational opportunities," the task. Therefore, in addition to knowledge of the functions above, the spread of knowledge has become an important functional components of modern universities.
    The above point of view, the basic functions of the University can be summarized as: the choice of knowledge, knowledge transfer, knowledge, innovation and the dissemination of knowledge.  
    Clearly the basic functionality, we have to analyze what is best. Class, it is above all a relative concept, the single indicator, it should be easy to measure. However, the complexity of the University, and the development of evaluation index system for first-class university staff awareness of such issues, it is hard to find authoritative evaluation index system of first-class university. However, two points are clear: first-class area must be absolutely outstanding; class absolutely no obvious shortcomings. Therefore, the basic functions of the four universities to determine the first-class universities, top universities in four areas must have reached a certain level, while in some areas to be absolutely outstanding.
    Choice for the evaluation of knowledge is difficult to quantify the indicators used to measure the. Because, for the same knowledge and understanding of the differences will be larger there, select what kind of knowledge transfer and Chuanbo, depending on the Shehuihuanjing He was understanding of teachers. However, this does not mean that the evaluation of knowledge select the no start. If the choice is difficult to evaluate the specific knowledge, we can evaluate whether it has positive knowledge selection mechanism. Such as the UK Open University's curriculum development to establish a curriculum planning, course approval, course development in the external review, comparison of academic, teaching and assessment and improvement of a set of process management system and conduct an annual assessment and improvement of the course work. Therefore, it can build and run the knowledge selection mechanism is the basis for measuring the content. Choosing knowledge this function is often overlooked by everyone, in fact it is other features to achieve the basis Zhi You were effectively choices, to Chuan Di, Chuan Bo effective Neirong, to carry out effectively the knowledge innovation.
    The transmission of knowledge, learners can acquire knowledge to measure the effectiveness and efficiency, that is, whether carefully selected knowledge can really pass to learners. This requires first-class university should not only attach importance to the process of teaching, but also should pay attention to the process of learning. Student achievement in this regard is available, student satisfaction measurement and evaluation.
    The spread of knowledge, mainly based on the scope to measure the spread, mainly refers to the number of students. Students in a broad sense here to refer to the students, not only refers to the students on campus, but also including other sources of the University learning resources and learning support of the people. Such as MIT OPEN COURSEWARE is extensive use of the Internet dissemination of knowledge, which also has a large number of learners worldwide.
    So, remote education and first-class university would be a relationship? This is a very interesting question. Of remote education, remote education, we first find that there are two basic modes, namely the single mode and dual mode.  
    Single-mode universities, a large majority of the world today there have been dozens of students registered for more than 10 million people in the huge number of universities (Mega-University). Behalf of the school which is the famous British Open University. Open University students in more than 20 million people registered, 30 years more than 200 million students to provide opportunities for higher education, but also the quality of its teaching ranks in 2003, the United Kingdom 100 University of section 5, more than the University of Oxford. These facts prove that the British Open University in the knowledge transfer and knowledge dissemination is very prominent. Innovation in knowledge, research and knowledge of its Institute of Educational Technology influential in the industry, particularly in harsh Linpilinge (Colin Pillinger) study led by Professor Martian life is a world top level. Therefore, the four basic functions of the university to evaluate, the United Kingdom Open University is undoubtedly a first-class university ranks. In other words, a single mode distance education universities can be a first-rate university.
    In dual mode, remote education, at least in the choice of knowledge, knowledge transfer and dissemination of knowledge play an important role. Distance education is to pay attention to scale, and strive to achieve the scale, quality and efficiency of the balance. But its core meaning is to make the original limited knowledge of the campus to be widespread, more and more learners can get access to higher education, or can be excellent teaching resources. Thus, a university, with particular attention to the dissemination of knowledge of university distance education must be given adequate attention, a future first-class university education would be unimaginable without the remote. In addition, due to the openness of distance education, dual-mode distance education teacher is no longer confined to school, can be a wider choice, which also extends the school knowledge and ability to select channels. As the space-time separation Tedian distance education, distance education pay more attention to acts of teaching and learning, paying attention to teaching more effective, to discover and apply the Henduo learning theory and teaching methods, Ru Learning support theory other hand, these theories and methods will transfer of knowledge to our school a positive impact. Therefore, the dual mode, distance education can be the choice of knowledge, knowledge transfer and dissemination of knowledge play a very active role.
    Single-mode distance education universities can become a first-class universities, dual mode distance education can play an active role in leading universities. In fact, both single-mode or dual-mode, as long as its ongoing efforts to improve, on behalf of the advanced educational philosophy and teaching methods of distance education, a first-class, or a first-class essential, should be a normal.
